Description: MORE FULL SIZE TRUCK COMPARO @ INSIDELINE.COM: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=147067?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..1.* We see it every Friday during our evening commute. A stream of vehicles choking the freeway, headed out to the Mojave Desert or the Colorado River for some well-earned weekend stress relief. The fun varies, from camping to dirt-bike riding to water-skiing. But the vehicle that invariably gets tasked with hauling the corresponding equipment is a full-size pickup truck. You know, like the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, 2009 Ford F-150 or 2009 Toyota Tundra. Sure, we talk about the virtues of the minivan as a family hauler, and there are many. But the minivan stands no chance against a looming 25-foot camping trailer. And SUVs are easily flummoxed by motocross bikes and the need to carry their smelly gas cans (or anything that's remotely dirty, actually) in the vehicle's cargo area. There's nothing like a pickup, with its big bin in back that doesn't care what you toss into it. And the truck is sure to be around long after the full-frame SUV falls completely out of favor and descends into the three-row car-based sensibility that is the crossover.

@BUBBA181194 that makes no sense the Lariat has a bigger engine than the cheaper more rugged trucks, and it only really affects the interior.

And? The Dodge is a Laramie!?! (luxury truck)

you dont think the other trucks werent luxury like your ford. that ram had wood trim, leather upholstery on the dash (first in any truck), all the chrome in the world, dvd player, very expensive ram box, nav, dual zone automatic temp control, everything. and yet it still manages to work like a work truck. why cant ford do that? plus that isnt the only reason the ford lost, its got the weakest engine by 70hp+

The ONLY reason the ford lost is because they used a Lariet. thats a luxury truck, not a work truck.

the stickey gas pedal isnt on the tundra.

FUCK YEAH IVE BEEN SAYING THT ALOTT

1.ford raptor 2.dodge power wagon 3.ford fx4

Wow, you obviously put a lot of thought into that comment. LOL. I think you mean you "want" a real truck. Toyota's are anything but cheap pieces of shit they are the class benchmark. By the way, they're made in Japan, not China.

I agree man I thought they were testing trucks but they are being picky about 0-60 and interiors when the focus should be towing, durability, and off road capability seeing as they are 4x4

Almost my thoughts exactly. I'd take a Ford over a Dodge, but the Chevy is the best and the Toyota isn't even worth a second thought.

Two words: Unintended Acceleration Here's how it should have gone down 1: Chevy/Ford tie 3: Dodge Toyota doesn't even make the list.

TOYOTA CAN SUCK MY AMERICAN DICK!!!!!!!! I was a real truck not some cheep peice of shit that came form china

this text is a fucking joke!!... like seriously we have a 07 f 150 limited and it chirps the tires just touching the peddle... and now the new f 150, has the nicest interior a good reliable engine, tons of features, looks really tough.... this test was a favourited test not a true one

wow dude im loving that new dodge suprisingly they said the yot was the cheapest in price but choosing between the 2 is like a red head w/ green eyes and a blond w/ blue eyes to get down with,the ford is last and thats bs because the chevy cost the most looks like shit smear and is slow and eats gallons of gas like i eat m&m's,and whats all this buy american i mean i think most people dont even know what the american way or dream really is any more,just saying...and yeah im a white boy myself!!!

how much did dodge pay to put there piece of shit on top of the rankings

fuck slipknot... Slayer bitch! Whats funny is you made a list that no one gives a shit about....and Tundra kicks ass.

i hate to admit it but the dodge is the only one that actually looks like a real truck. ford, you are disappointing me

@Slipknotfan684 That's cute!!! You made your own rank list!!! The only problem is you're dead wrong on all of them.

the speed test isnt even fair with the ford...my dad has this truck and he put a super-chip in it. (it reprograms the computer) which takes away SOME governers. it turned it into a completely different truck!!!! it spins the tires all over the place on a hot dry day here in Florida!!!and dodge doesn't even use governers. its self explanatory.

1. Chevy 2. Dodge 3. Ford Toyota = absolute shit so it doesn't even deserve a ranking

By the way if Toyota puts out a super duty line I will take my f450 and smash in the front end of every single one. And i know my friend with his 3500 silverado will help. then I will drive away without any damage. how can toyota expect to stop a 15000 lb load if the accelerator sticks.

Fair comparison test for the moment. The Dodge ram has the brilliant design of a hemispherical engine. The Chevy has its large 6.2 at just over 400hp. The Tundra can go screw itself because no japenese turck can hold up to All American Muscle. The Ford f150 has the smallest and an out dated engine. 1 year behind, however the 6.2 boss will shoot the F150 into 1st. The supercharged version will have just over 500hp and an optional 7.0 available in 2012 will have close to 700hp. I'm not concerned.

@hamfmf4 hahahahaa fuckin toyota

The Ford might have been a second behind all the other trucks to 60 mph but it's a TRUCK. Who needs to get to 60 mph faster than 8.4 seconds?? The average passenger car could barely beat 10 seconds 15 years ago. Not arguing with the results - just making a comment.
